With England footballers making the Women’s World Cup Final, and female solo artists claiming the top six singles in the UK for the first time in Official Charts history, August 2023 was a landmark month for women. Elsewhere, we saw the BRIT School get the go-ahead to open a northern branch in Bradford, and Self Esteem and Jake Shears announced for leading roles in West End musical Cabaret.
August at Audio Network was anything but quiet, with a slew of superb commercial releases making their way to all the major DSPs. First up, Party Hop Worldwide, a summery hip hop collection from Jason Derulo and Taio Cruz-collaborator Thamaddrumma. We also welcomed the return of trailer titan Mark Petrie, whose latest LP Winning Streak is tailormade for sports content.
Speaking of big hitters in Hollywood, Hans Zimmer-collaborator Lorne Balfe joined the Audio Network roster, and shared hybrid collection Synth Orchestral. Taking a very different approach, Benjamin Epand can be found exploring swampy Southern rock on his latest album Swag To The Bone, while Emmy-nominated composer Sunna Wehrmeijer presents epic alt-pop and pop-rock on Lost My Name.
Find out more about August's commercial releases below.
New from Hulu and Netflix-approved composer Thamaddrumma, Party Hop Worldwide fuses hip hop with futuristic EDM trap and reggaeton grooves. Bring the energy to your next production with this eclectic yet summery collection.
For a soundtrack to sports content, look no further than Winning Streak from the man behind trailer music for Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers: Infinity War. These emotionally charged hybrid orchestral themes capture the adrenaline of competition, using forward-moving strings, bold brass, piano, synths, choirs and impactful drums and percussion. A sure-fire way to make sure your production finishes first.
Rock fans take note: screaming solos and stomping beats set the pace for the latest collection from Los Angeles-based producer, songwriter and mixer Benjamin Epand. From driving rock to swampy Southern blues, Swag To The Bone is must-listen for anyone looking to bring a little grit to proceedings.
Joining the Audio Network roster this August was Lorne Balfe, AKA the Grammy-winning composer of music for Top Gun: Maverick, Black Widow and the Mission Impossible series. Synth Orchestral is part of a series of hybrid orchestral albums that draw on the Scottish composer’s vast feature film experience. A sure-fire way to catapult your content to the A-list.
